AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1045 AM CDT WED MAR 21 2012

..HEAVY RAINS EXPECTED TODAY WITH SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
EXPECTED...

.UPDATE...BAND OF ENHANCED CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE LARGE
UPPER LOW CURRENTLY STRETCHES FROM BASTROP LA SOUTH/SOUTHEAST TO
ALCORN MS TO BUDE MS. THIS LINE IS PROGRESSING STEADILY
EAST/NORTHEAST AND WIND SHEAR VECTORS IN CONCERT WITH PRE-LINE
MOISTURE VECTORS ARGUE FOR CONTINUED STEADY ADVANCEMENT WELL INTO
THE HEART OF THE REGION INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. A NEW TORNADO
WATCH IS BEING ISSUED FOR A LARGE PORTION OF CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI TO
COVER RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LINE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. AMPLE
LOW LEVEL SHEAR IN CONCERT WITH SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY
DEFINITELY LOOKS TO PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT CAPABLE FOR A FEW
QLCS-TYPE TORNADOES WITHIN THE ADVANCING BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION.
THERE IS ALSO A RISK OF A ISOLATED SUPERCELL OR TWO INITIATING
ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN MS THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THIS LINE AND MOVING
GENERALLY NORTH. HOWEVER...THE BULK OF THE SEVERE WEATHER RISK
SHOULD COME FROM THE ADVANCING LINE OF STORMS AND TREMENDOUS
RAINFALL RATES WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ACTIVITY AS WELL.
PERTAINING TO THE LATTER...THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH THAT WAS TO GO INTO
EFFECT TONIGHT FOR AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF I-55 IN PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL MS TONIGHT WILL BE BUMPED UP IN TIME...NOW STARTING THIS
AFTERNOON.

AS HAS BEEN THE CASE THE LAST FEW DAYS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE UPPER
LOW TO OUR WEST...WE ANTICIPATED SHOWERS/STORMS AND ASSOCIATED
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL TO RETRACT BACK TO THE WEST CLOSER TO THE
ADVANCING COLD FRONT THIS EVENING. THIS COULD RESULT IN AFTERNOON
CONVECTION CLEARING EAST OF SOME AREAS IN CENTRAL MS...ONLY TO HAVE
MORE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN BUILD BACK IN THESE SAME AREAS OVERNIGHT.

FORECAST UPDATES STILL IN PROGRESS BUT ALL SHORT TERM CHANGES WILL
BE ACCOMPLISHED TO THE FORECAST WITHIN THE NEXT 30 MINUTES. /BB/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 610 AM CDT WED MAR 21 2012/

SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)...

CUT-OFF UPPER LOW OVER NORTH CENTRAL TX IS CLEARLY EVIDENT ON WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY THIS MORNING. SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A "NEARLY"
STATIONARY COLD FRONT DRAPED FROM NEAR LITTLE ROCK DUE SOUTH TO NEAR
ALEXANDRIA...BUT THE BOUNDARY HAS MADE SOME PROGRESS TO THE EAST
SINCE MIDNIGHT. WIDESPREAD RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDER IS ONGOING
ALONG THIS LINE CAUSING FLASH FLOODING ACROSS PARISHES JUST WEST OF
OUR CWA. A FEW OF THE EMBEDDED CELLS HAVE SHOWN DECENT ROTATION AS
LOW LEVEL SHEAR ALONG/AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY IS SUFFICIENT FOR
SUPERCELLS.

SYSTEM EVOLUTION...NWP GUIDANCE IS IN DECENT AGREEMENT THIS MORNING
THAT THE BOUNDARY WILL BEGIN TO MAKE SOME HEADWAY TO THE EAST TODAY
BECOMING ORIENTED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN I-55 AND THE MS/AL BORDER BY
SUNRISE THUR. FROM THERE IT APPEARS THE BOUNDARY MAY STALL AGAIN AS
IT INFRINGES UPON STRONG HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE FAR SE CONUS AND
THE UPPER LOW BEGINS TO MIGRATE NORTH IN THE FACE OF EAST COAST
RIDGING. ITS VERY POSSIBLE THE BOUNDARY MAY RETROGRADE A TAD BACK
INTO OUR CWA ON THUR DEPENDING ON HOW FAR EAST IT MAKES IT
TONIGHT...BECOMING ORIENTED SOMEWHERE NEAR OR JUST EAST OF THE I-59
CORRIDOR BY FRI MORNING.

TODAY...HEAVY RAIN AND EMBEDDED THUNDER ALONG THE LINE WILL PUSH
INTO OUR NE LA PARISHES BY MID MORNING SHIFTING EAST THROUGH THE
DAY. OUT AHEAD OF THIS RAIN AREA EXPECT AT LEAST A FEW SHOWERS/
THUNDERSTORMS TO BE MOVING NORTH ACROSS MS...POSSIBLY INCREASING IN
COVERAGE A BIT THIS AFTERNOON. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH LOOKS TO BE IN
GOOD SHAPE...ONLY MINOR CHANGE WAS TO INCLUDE AREAS ALONG/WEST OF
I-55 SOUTH OF I-20 THROUGH THE DAY TODAY BEFORE THE WATCH EXPANDS TO
INCLUDE AREAS FROM YAZOO CITY DOWN TO HATTIESBURG TONIGHT.
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS FOR THIS DAYTIME WATCH AREA SHOULD CLOSE
IN ON 2 INCHES FAIRLY EASILY WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS OF 4 TO 5 INCHES
NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AS SOUTH TO NORTH STORM MOTIONS AND SLOW
FRONTAL PROGRESSION ALLOW STORMS TO TRAIN OVER THE SAME LOCATIONS.
ITS LIKELY THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL NEED TO BE TRIMMED WEST OF THE
MS RIVER BY THIS EVENING AS THE FRONT PUSHES INTO MS...BUT WILL
ALLOW DAY SHIFT TO MONITOR TRENDS BEFORE MAKING THIS FINAL. IN
ADDITION TO THE RAINS...THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW MLCAPE VALUES OF
800-100J/KG PUSHING NORTH TO NEAR I-20 AHEAD OF THE FRONT LATER
TODAY WHICH SEEMS REASONABLE CONSIDERING 70 DEGREE DEW POINTS ARE
ALREADY PUSHING NORTH OF NEW ORLEANS. BRISK SOUTHEASTERLY SURFACE
WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL KEEP LOW LEVEL SHEAR VALUES/STORM
RELATIVE HELICITIES SUFFICIENT FOR CONTINUED SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT
ALONG THE FRONT THROUGH THE DAY...ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS SOUTH OF
I-20. DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A TORNADO RISK WITH THIS ACTIVITY IN
ADDITION TO A DAMAGING WIND RISK AND WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER IN THE HWO AND GRAPHICS.

OTHER THAN A CONTINUED SHIFT TO THE EAST TONIGHT FORECAST IMPACTS
ARE GOING TO REMAIN SIMILAR AS WE'LL HAVE TO WATCH FOR EMBEDDED...
ROTATING THUNDERSTORMS IN AN ENVIRONMENT/ALTHOUGH LESS FAVORABLE/
CONDUCIVE FOR SUPERCELLS ALONG/JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. AGAIN IT
APPEARS THE BEST CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT MIXED LAYER INSTABILITY WILL
BE SOUTH OF I-20...WHICH IS WHERE THE BEST CHANCE FOR HEAVY RAINFALL
RATES ASSOCIATED WITH CONVECTION AND FLASH FLOODING WILL BE LOCATED.

RAIN/THUNDER CHANCES FOR THUR WILL BE TIED TO HOW FAR THE BOUNDARY
PUSHES EAST...AND WHAT KIND OF SHIFT BACK TO THE WEST THE BOUNDARY
MAKES DURING THE DAY AND INTO FRI MORNING. IF ITS FAR ENOUGH WEST WE
WILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING
AND POSSIBLY SOME SEVERE WEATHER BUT AGAIN THIS IS ALL DEPENDENT ON
BOUNDARY LOCATION. DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED IN WAKE OF THE FRONT AS
WELL AS A FAIRLY SHARP SKY CLEARING LINE ALLOWING FOR DECENT
SUNSHINE ACROSS WESTERN AREAS THUR. CHANCE OF RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO
TAPER THUR NIGHT AS THE BOUNDARY FINALLY PUSHES EAST INTO AL. /BK/

LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...

THE LONG TERM WILL BE GENERALLY QUIET AS WE SEE THE
PESKY/SLOW MOVING UPPER LOW DEPART OUR REGION DURING THIS TIME.
WHILE A BIT COOLER/DRIER AIR WILL BE OVER THE REGION FRIDAY...THE
ACTUAL COOL FRONT WILL NOT PUSH THROUGH THE AREA UNTIL SATURDAY WHEN
THE DEEP LAYER NW FLOW OCCURS FROM THE UPPER LOW MOVING MORE TO OUR
EAST. BY LATE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...MID/UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING WILL SETUP JUST TO OUR WEST AND KEEP THE AREA DRY. TEMPS
WILL BE COOLER THAN WHAT HAS OCCURRED DURING OUR EXTENDED WARM
SPELL...BUT READINGS WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN ABV AVG FOR LATE MARCH.

AS FOR FORECAST SPECIFICS...HELD ONTO SOME LOW END POPS OVER THE
I-59 CORRIDOR ON FRIDAY WHICH WAS SUPPORTED BY THE EURO/GFS. GUID
TEMPS WERE BASICALLY FOLLOWED (NEAR 80 DEGREES) WITH SOME LOWERING
OF TEMPS IN THE FAR N WHERE THE COOLER LOW LEVEL TEMPS WERE NOTED
(UPPER 70S THERE). FOR THE WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK...GUID VALUES WERE
USED FOR LOW TEMPS AS 50S WILL BE THE TYPICAL RANGE FOR THIS PERIOD.
AS FOR HIGHS...USED A BLEND OF THE EURO/GFS WHICH IS GENERALLY A
COUPLE DEGREES COOLER THAN THE GFS MOS FOR SAT-MON. LOOK FOR
READINGS MORE IN THE UPPER 70S DURING THIS TIME AS COOLER NORTHERLY
LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL SUPPORT SUCH READINGS. /CME/

&&

.AVIATION...LINE OF TSRA/+RA ADVANCING TOWARD CENTRAL MS AT MID
MORNING WILL PUSH TO ROUGHLY A GWO...TO JAN...TO HBG LINE BY EARLY
TO MID AFTERNOON. MVFR/OCSNL IFR CONDS CAN BE XPCTD WITHIN THIS
LINE. VFR OR MVFR (DUE TO CEILINGS) CONDS WILL EXIST TODAY OUT AHEAD
OF THE RAINS ALTHOUGH A FEW SHOWERS/TSRA WILL BE MOVING NORTH ACROSS
EASTERN MS AHEAD OF THE FRONT BY AFTERNOON. SFC WINDS WILL BE
ERLY/SERLY AND GUSTY TODAY OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT...AND WILL SHIFT
BRIEFLY TO WRLY BEHIND THE FRONT BEFORE BECMG S/SERLY ONCE AGAIN.
THE FRONT IS XPCTD TO APPROACH THE MS/AL BORDER BY 12Z THUR. /BB/
